History

The town was incorporated on April 17, 1911. The Town of Palm Beach (called Palm Beach Island or the Island of Palm Beach to differentiate between the town and the county) is an upscale incorporated town in Palm Beach County, Florida Beach County, Florida, United States. Flagler's houselots were bought by the beneficiaries of the Gilded Age, and in 1902 Flagler himself built a Beaux-Arts architecture mansion, Flagler Museum designed by the New York-based firm Carrère and Hastings and helped establish the Palm Beach winter "season" by constant entertaining. As of 2000, Palm Beach had a year-round population of 10,468, with an estimated seasonal population of 30,000. As of 2004, the year-round population recorded by the US Census Bureau is 9,860.

Palm Beach was established as a resort by Henry Morrison Flagler, a founder of Standard Oil, who made the Atlantic coast barrier island accessible via his Florida East Coast Railway. The Intracoastal Waterway separates it from the neighboring cities of West Palm Beach, Florida Palm Beach and Lake Worth, Florida Worth.
